“We think that there were four burglaries in Phelps and one in Sellars,” EMU Police Chief Greg O’Dell said.
The burglaries last week in Phelps occurred between 4-7 a.m., and the rooms were targeted because of unlocked doors. EMU Police urge everyone on campus to always keep their rooms locked.
“It’s a message we preach all the time. After we put out timely warning about doors being unlocked, we had another incident in the same location,” O’Dell said.
